TOBACCO-SI'IOKING- PIPE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed October 13, 1909. Serial No. 522,496.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, vWILLIAM E. Hoonnn, a citizen of the United States,residing at the city of Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of NewYork, have invented a new and useful Tobacco-Smoking Pipe, of which thefollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to certain improvements in a tobacco smoking pipeand I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of my invention such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings and to figures and letters of referencemarked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The objects of my improvements are: First: To provide a chamber orreceptacle wherein can be collected all the moisture, nicotin and otherfoul secretions usually present in a tobacco smoking pipe and preventthe said moisture, nicotin and foul secretions from reaching the' mouthof the smoker by means of the aforesaid chamber or receptacle and smokechannels, thereby insuring a clean and sanitary smoke. VSecond: By meansof this chamber or receptacle and smoke channels and drainage channels,to prevent all moisture or saliva that might collect in the pipe stemfrom {iowing into the pipe bowl. Third: To provide ample and easyfacilities and means for cleaning the pipe. I attain these results bythe position and location in which the nicotin receptacle or chamber andthe smoke and drainage channels, are constructed or drilled in the pipebowl, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings and which forms a partof this speciication.

The accompanying drawing is a central vertical longitudinal section ofmy pipe embodying my invention.

A is an ordinary pipe bowl.

B is a chamber or receptacle, for the purpose of collecting nicotin,moisture and other foul secretions, situated between the pipe bowl A andthe pipe stem H, in a vertical position and parallel with the pipe bowlA, with an opening at the top. I prefer to have said chamber orreceptacle in a vertical position as indicated and parallel with thepipe bowl, to insure the best results with my invention, although it isnot absolutely essential that the chamber or receptacle aforesaid,should be nearer to the pipe bowl than to the pipe stem, but thevertical position and location of the chamber or receptacle is essentialand necessary. This chamber or receptacle in the position or locationdescribed, serves as a collector of all moisture, nicotin and foulsecretions which might flow through channels D, 12, and E and also hasfor its purpose the conveying of smoke from channel D 7 to channel E.The opening at top of the aforesaid chamber, per mits of the easycleaning of the nicotin and moisture chamber B, and the smoke channels D7 and E.

C is the well or socket, into which the mouth-piece or stem H fits andalso serves as a smoke conductor from channel E, to stem H and as aconductor of any moisture or nicotin which might collect in said well,to the bottom of chamber or receptacle 13, through channel F.

D is a smoke channel leading from the bottom of pipe bowl A to the topof chamber or receptacle B and serves as a smoke passage to convey thesmoke from the bottom of pipe bowl A to the top of chamber B, thenceacross said chamber B into and through smoke channel E into the well Cand thence to the mouth of the smoker through stem H.

E is a smoke channel leading from the top of chamber B into well orsocket C and terminating midway between the end of well or socket C andwhere the pipe stem or mouth piece H enters said well or socket, and isa conductor of smoke from top of chamber B to the well (1.

F is a drainage channel to convey saliva, moisture, nicotin and foulsecretions which might form in the well or socket C, from said well tothe bottom of chamber or receptacle B. By the particular position andlocation of this drainage channel F, any moisture, saliva, nicotin orsecretions, which might form and collect in said well or socket 0, passthrough this drainage channel and into the bottom of the chamber orreceptacle B, and a free and unobstructed draft is thus obtained.

Gr is a cap which can be removed and its into the top of chamber B, toclose opening of said chamber and can be easily removed for the purposeof cleaning chamber B and smoke channels D and E.

H is a pipe-stem or mouth piece.

I am aware that prior to my invention,

Patented May 17, 1910. l

tobacco smoking pipes have been made With nicotin chambers orreceptacles. I therefore do not Claim the invention of 2L nieotinreceptacle; but

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim:

In a tobacco smoking pipe, a moisture or nieotin receptacle, situated orlocated betWeen the pipe bowl and pipe stern or inouth piece, in avertical position and parallel Wit-h the pipe bowl, having an opening atthe top of said moisture or nicotin receptacle or chamber, with twosmoke ehn'inels entering` said receptacle or Chamber et the top and adrainage channel entering said receptacle or chamber nt the bottoni7 assubstantially set forth herein and for the purposes speeied. lntestimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed iny naine in the presenceof tWo Witnesses, this 11th day of October, 1909.
